Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time reading large quantities of user-generated content or news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media

basically doomscrolling is aimlessly scrollig through social media without any real intentions. being on social media also generates dopamine which is the same happy hormone that gambling can give you. we both doomscroll or gamble when we are bored. what do you think is worse, gambling or doomscrolling?

is it healthy to engage in these two activities excessively?

both can be harmful, but in different ways, dude.. Doomscrolling exacerbates anxiety, extreme sadness, and disrupts sleep. Social feeds, on the other hand, are like gambling, they hack the reward & dopamine system, leading to repetitive and uncontrollable episodes. But gambling is even more serious because it can quickly destroy your livelihood and is known as an addiction, with a higher risk of suicide. So for me, bro, it is more serious on an individual level. But both have the same solution, set clear boundaries or stoppages, take time to rest, and seek help/self-exclusion or therapy if you feel it is getting too much.
